Textil whom t may concern,.-

Be it known that I, JAMES W. RIoHARDsoN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Riverton, 'Sa-ngamon county, State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.

The object ot' my improvement is that the ealks of any horseshoe or any similar shoe may be removed for sharpening or any other purpose at any time desired, whether upon the horse or animal at the time or not. I attain the objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which` Figure l is a perspective showing shoe with the calli complete, Where the adjustable ealk is attached or fastened on. Fig. Zis a perspeetiveshowingtheadj ustablecalks removed.

VA is a removable Wedge-shaped call; provided with bolt or screw openings A.

B is a wedgeshaped call: fixed to the under side of toe and heel of the shoe.

C represents openings in the fixed oalk B.

E indicates toe and heel flanges fixed to the under side of the shoeand lying parallel with the fixed calks B.

D is agroove between the ealk B and flange E for the reception of the base of the remov able ealk A. Said removable ealk is held in place by bolts passing through the openings A C. The removable calls ext-end out beyond the point of the fixed oalks. Said fixed oalks furnish a substantial back for the removable ealks.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, as illustrated in the above drawings, is-

In a horseshoe, the fixed call; B, provided l With openings C, and the flanges E, in combi nation with the removable call; A, provided with'openings A, and bolts whereby the removable flange inay be secured to the shoe, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
